In 2010 the Pearl PFP-165 was launched featuring a natural Grenadilla wood headjoint, Grenaditte body and high quality synthetic pads (which are now also available on the 105 model) gaining Pearl the enviable position of straddling the student, intermediate and professional piccolo market. As with the entire Pearl Flute range, the PFP-105 and PFP-165 are manufactured with Pearl's world-renowned pinless mechanism and are currently the only piccolos on the market to feature this innovation. Grenaditte is a specific type of synthetic material but unlike plastic, it incorporates a bit of grenadilla wood with the synthetic material. This allows the player to get a warm sound that might be more expected from a wooden instrument. It is also not affected by temperature fluctuations, meaning unlike wooden instruments it won't crack.
